The Laboratory of Hydrodynamic Stability was created in 1979 by V.A. Briskman, a prominent theoretical physicist and a talented organizer, who played a significant role in the development of academic science in Perm and in the establishment of relations between the scientists of the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics UB RAS and foreign colleagues.
Heads of the Laboratory over the years:
- 1979–2001: Founder, V.A. Briskman
- 2001–2003: Professor V.G. Kozlov
- 2004–2017: K.G. Kostarev
- 2018–present: Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, A.I. Mizev
The Laboratory conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of convective heat and mass transfer in multicomponent and multiphase fluid systems with account of chemical reactions, phase transitions, polymerization processes, and the influence of external force fields. In recent years, the Laboratory scope has expanded significantly to include interdisciplinary scientific fields at the intersection of hydrodynamics with classical and colloid chemistry, biology and medicine. A key recent achievement of the Laboratory is the development of a novel, extended classification for hydrodynamic instabilities in frontal reactions in liquid systems.
Laboratory researchers have developed and implemented methods to intensify processes in microreactors and complex fluid systems. New approaches to the problem of separating oil-water emulsions in acoustic and electric fields are formulated. The Laboratory team has extensive experience in studying the physical-chemical hydrodynamics of multiphase systems containing surfactants. A significant interdisciplinary accomplishment is the development of a specialized hardware/software complex for the non-invasive collection of pulmonary surfactant samples using an electric field for subsequent medical analysis.
The Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the–art instrumentation from leading global manufactures to perform comprehensive analysis of fluids and interface boundaries and to accurately measure:
- static and dynamic surface/interfacial tension
- rheological properties and structure of surfactant layers
- surface free energy and wettability of solid surfaces
- different characteristics of dispersed systems
The emphasis is placed on the improvement of optical methods for the non-invasive, high-precision measurement of field properties in liquids and on their surface.
